The COMPASS assessments are a series of untimed, computer-adaptive tests in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics which are designed to select a range of questions that is appropriate for the test taker’s skill level.
You will be reading two or more passages and answering several multiple choice questions about each passage.
You will be given scratch paper, a calculator, and pencils to work out multiple choice problems for this test.
For more information on COMPASS placement testing, please refer to the Academic Skills Assessment brochure.
You will be shown essays that contain errors in punctuation, grammar, writing style, and organization. You will be asked to read the passages, select and correct mistakes, and make revisions.
For practice, visit the ACT Web site. Look for sample questions in Reading, Writing, Pre-algebra, and Algebra.
